1. Can I make the Copycat McDonald's Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the components of the sandwich ahead of time! You can cook the steak, onions, and scrambled eggs, and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you're ready to assemble your bagels, simply reheat the ingredients in a skillet or microwave, toast the bagels, and assemble with the sauce. This makes for a quick breakfast option on busy mornings!

2. Can I use a different type of steak for this recipe?

Absolutely! If shaved steak isn't available, you can substitute it with thinly sliced flank steak, ribeye, or sirloin. The key is to use a cut of steak that cooks quickly and is easy to slice thinly. You can also opt for a leaner cut like tenderloin if you prefer a lower-fat option.

3. How can I make this recipe spicier?

If you're looking to add some heat to your Copycat McDonald's Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel , there are a few easy ways to do so. Add sliced jalapeños to the steak and onion mixture, or drizzle some hot sauce over the sandwich before closing it. For an even spicier twist, try adding a spicy mustard or Sriracha to the breakfast sauce.

Instructions

Prepare the breakfast sauce by mixing together mayonnaise, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until onions are browned and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and cook the shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Return the caramelized onions to the skillet and mix with the steak.
Form two piles of the steak and onion mixture, and place a slice of cheese on each pile to melt.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and scramble the beaten eggs. Divide them into two portions for the sandwiches.
Toast the bagels in a toaster or skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches: spread sauce on each bagel half. Add half of the scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each bagel, then top with steak and onion mixture. Cover with the top half of the bagel.

Notes

Caramelizing the onions slowly brings out their natural sweetness, adding great flavor to the sandwich.
You can prepare the breakfast sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Feel free to use a different type of cheese, like cheddar or provolone, for a different flavor profile.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, and add hot sauce or jalapeños if you like a spicy kick.
